This is a pretty old video. I've gotten rid of the machine seen in the video but bought another one because I missed it so much. With that said, not all of the content in this video is relevant anymore. Might make a new one, will still answer questions.
@@GBrai-mu5zy That black one is from DecalGirl if I remember correctly. They don't have a specific skin for it so I had to use the custom size option. I have a new Elitebook as of now with a different skin from eBay. It's precision cut with a cutout for the logo as well, so I'd recommend checking there.
This excellent build business series from HP is also 100 Percent Linux compatible, i still use it(typing this) under LINUX MINT with a SSD installed and this thing just flies with Mint. Actually installing linux is way easier than windows, no need to load drivers, everything just WORKS!
i bought refurbished why wont mine cut on ? i have a universal charger running 19 volts. it cut on but then cut off and the light blinks orange when its unplugged and white when its plugged in
I would have never found the Sim card slot. Thanks 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 I got a core i7 with 12gbs of ram on ebay for $125. Purchased a cord and battery for very cheap on ebay.
Hello, I just bought the same HP EliteBook 8460p and still checking all its functionalities. I notice a very dim light emitted near the camera but nothing pop out. When I pressed on the squarish plastic, the light was off and I am not sure how to let the "bulb" pop out to emit the light. Hopefully, I did not damage it while I pressed it. Please assist me with this. Appreciate your advice. Thank you. Iancu Low
I would highly suggest moving to a more reliable and future proof form of external storage, rather than disc based media which will deteriorate with scratches to the readable surface.
£8 from fleebay a slimline thin external one - bought one 3 years ago still going strong, self loaded and requires two USB ports to connect, can boot from it, burn dvds and cds - works perfect and fits into a laptop case easy. :)
I would agree but with just a little bit of work you could reuse that bay for a SSD, or have a smaller SSD in your HD bay and run your bigger one in the DVD bay. Either way you could make use of that port.
does the display port still work after upgrading to windows 10? actually i prefer to stick to windows 7 for as long as i could, i just couldn't stand the UI in 8 & 10.
Im thinking about getting one; my wife and I got a laptop during Black Friday 3 years ago and it is frustrating to do homework from home and to edit movie on Movie Maker. Upgrade needed. They are very affordable on Amazon now. One with an i7 8gb are being sole for under 300.00, which I think it great. I don't have a lot of experience with computers, yet I know that an I7 processor would be a big step up from out inexpensive laptop. (maybe I won't have to go to the library so much to work on their fast computers with an i5)
If you can find a good deal on it, go for it. This machine is built like a tank. Just try to get an SSD in it if you can, as that will improve performance exponentially.
the thing u dont know what it is, is bluetooth card but i wonder what is above it u can put somting there only i dont know what its the black small emty space.
I've been thinking about buying this machine, in amazon its cost is about 200$ but reburfished, what do you think about it? Sorry if i wrote bad, im venezuelan

hi andy. im using the same system.. the only difference i found is i having only 4gb of ram.. i'd like to know how to set up finger print in this stuff. i found no options in settings. i think you could help.this video was pretty much useful. thank yoou
There's a utility called HP Client Security you can use to setup the fingerprint reader. I believe you can find it here: www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/clientmanagement/download.html

Have you issues with this specifically the battery?

Same here with ubuntu Gnome with ssd installed, MY NIGGA !
Works so well no one uses it lol. "but..but it's on every smartphone!" Yeah yeah, no need to rationalize, Microsoft won the PC race decades ago.
this has been my workhorse for nearly a decade. They dont make cases like this anymore.
Agreed. The rigidity of these older business class machines is top notch.
I've using this for a while i'm a graphic designer i can do what i wan't with it , why should i buy a mac book or an expensive laptop , only 200$
i bought refurbished why wont mine cut on ? i have a universal charger running 19 volts. it cut on but then cut off and the light blinks orange when its unplugged and white when its plugged in
I ordered one to install Qubes OS 3.2 on it. Looks like they have quite nice specs.
Thanks for the review!

It's a keyboard light for dark locations and it is turned on by pressing in on the light bulb symbol next to it.
"DVD writer.....no one uses them.." Guess again Sherlock!!!!!!! Photo and video editors regularly use them!

You also use them for watching action movies!!!!!!!!!!

Do this laptop have usb 3.1?
does the display port still work after upgrading to windows 10?
actually i prefer to stick to windows 7 for as long as i could, i just couldn't stand the UI in 8 & 10.
I had no issues with the display port after upgrading to 10. Of course, this device shipped with 7 and will support it if you prefer 7.
how can i activate the sensor of finger print please
Can you but the like for it please
Thanks for this video. it was really educating

NIce vid Andy.Thinking of getting one.I see it has no hdmi.Will a display port to hdmi cable work?
Yes, it will.

any advice on getting the fingerprint scanner and sim card slot to work will be appreciated.
I like the idea of that black skin i will do it also it give a good look to the laptop thanks bro
I have one of these and how loud is the fan on your unit since mine seems to run very loud most of the time which does get on my nerves
Mine doesn't run hot or loud at all. Have you opened it up and dusted it out? Maybe apply new thermal compound too.
@@andusensei unfortunatly yea that was my first try and neither of those did anything so idk if its the fan or the computer
@@maxpetrack2280 Maybe install a hardware monitor and see if your CPU is running hot, could be the fan itself
if its amd GPU unit then it's loud

i want to upgrade ram, what type of ram is suitable?
DDR3. Two dimm slots are available.
I recommend 8GB as a minimum and 16GB as a personal preference.

Hey, can you share with me your camera drivers...? I have the same one but no camera drivers :)
Hi. Unfortunately I don't have this machine anymore, and couldn't find a specific camera driver from HP. I'd suggest trying Windows Update if you're using Windows, or try going through device manager.
Can I change the Graphic card from Amd to gtx or make it 2gb vram
No.
No. You can buy the 8460W with an AMD FirePro but that's a bit more expensive.
How long does the battery last? I'd get this laptop but battery life is a priority for me.
Being an older laptop, around 3-4 hours depending on usage. The Windows 10 Fall update (1803) helped a fair bit with battery in my usage.
Andy E. Oh, alright, thanks!
eBay has the extra capacity battery for this model for $17.99. I'm picking this laptop up for a bill along with the battery in a few days, can't wait.
Are you in possession of this machine Andy?
English brother so soooo clear.
Hey there, i'm planning on purchasing this laptop to be honest for different stuff, so this video helped tho :)
Does it support finger print sensor for window 10

What Eric said, that should fix it.
and is that a dvd reader + burner, reader by itself is pretty unless.
It's a DVD-RW.
Is The keyboard lightened?
There is no backlight. There is a deployable light on the top of the screen which shines down the the keyboard, though.
Is it a good laptop in 2016?
Depends on your usage. If you can find one under $200 and with an SSD it's a fast little laptop.
Does it come with Windows 10
Depends on where you get it.
Try FIFA 17-19...can it run?
Can you post the wallpaper? It's awesome.
If I remember correctly, this should be the wallpaper.
